SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Federal officials are investigating a collision between two planes on the tarmac at San Francisco International Airport.
Investigators believe a lapse in communication led to the minor scrape.
On Tuesday, a United Airlines jet was being pushed back from a gate at the international terminal when it clipped the wingtip of a passing All Nippon Airways jet.
Both planes suffered minor damage. No injuries were reported. Passengers were placed on alternative flights.
SFO spokesman Mike McCarron says it's a very unusual occurrence. He compared it to a highway fender-bender.
The Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board are looking into the incident.
